I think I will have a little popcorn tonight while we watch Brokenwood Mysteries, an easy show that doesn't require my brain to focus too much.

Riptide was Stephen J. Cannell, post A-Team adventure crime fighter vibes like Hunter and Hardcastle and McCormick. Gotta have cool vehicles, in this case, a big, fat, pink helicopter. Then a nerdy guy with a robot to capture the kid audience. Definition of formulaic. It started kinda cool, but like A-Team, grew tiresome. It was that brand of comic book violence where nobody ever got killed in a gunfight. Perry King and Joe Penny. The slick but dark realism of Miami Vice kinda wiped this stuff off the map, eventually.

Yes, these shows were kind of the ultimate in, um, shallow smiley face '80s adventure entertainment.

Love Brokenwood. What season are you watching?

Nothing much of note happened to me today.

Good night, friends.

And others.

It's raining again. Very nice.

Finishing up episode eight. Than it's quits for the evening.

Yes, it has become an addiction.

After turning off the TV, I started a new audiobook. It's Anne Tyler's latest, Three Days in June. The surprise is that the reader is J. Smith Cameron, one of the stars of Succession.

John G. · « **Reply #162 on:** February 11, 2025, 09:18:20 PM »

15 minutes in and I am hooked to that too.

Good night, all.

Hello, everyone.

Sorry to hear you have Covid, Jane.

Vibes for a speedy recovery.

Btw, regarding dry eyes, Life Extension has a product called Tear Support with Maqui Berry. I find that it helps. The capsules are quite small — and purple! You can probably find it at Amazon. Definitely at Life Extension.

I used to read a lot of Anne Tyler, but haven’t done so in many years. Glad to hear you like it.

Perhaps Jane should get some Sambucol.

For covid?

Yes, for colds (viruses) and flu and also sinus. So easy to take!

I love HHW where you can learn the most wonderful things about music, musicals, and movies.....from folks who really truly know what they're talking about!

Yes! And have fun doing it!

I’m enjoying Matthew Macfayden.

I’ve enjoyed him in everything I’ve seen him in.

Hi Jeanne!

With a Herculean effort, p. 7 is attainable.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #174 on:** February 11, 2025, 09:42:41 PM »

After that, it’s up to the fates.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #175 on:** February 11, 2025, 09:42:59 PM »

Or we face the furies.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #176 on:** February 11, 2025, 09:43:24 PM »

The Sidney J. Furies.

Big storm coming here in the next few days. Shouldn’t be a problem in my ‘hood, but the burned areas could get quite messy.
